Preview Changes for Round 3 vs Collingwood

[Jack Bauer]

In: Gaff
Out: Venables

 

[WillieNillie]

I saw Willie after the game and said Hi. He is much leaner in person. Looks fit as a fiddle. He hurt his foot doing sprints for the first time at Optus Stadium. He is aiming to be back for the Derby at this stage

 

[hungrytiger]

Venables played on Whitfield..Whats your point? Whitfield ran off half back and did it amazingly well and kept GWS in the game for so long.

My DT is in top 2000 in the country.. not too bad chopper. Why is Schofield coming in? He only come in for Shep.

Monday night news says Gaff and Cripps. Find 2 to come out.
Masten and Venables. Smith gets a run with role.

 

[hungrytiger]

So Willie back for Derby..theres another tough call coming....Love it Masto is done... If Masten survives 3 inclusions theres something fishy going on.

Oh shit, my man HT!

Enlisting the 'screenshotted hot take' in the struggle to #dropMasten was a big move and game respects game.

I appreciate your unwavering focus. Even your name is on-brand, as you sir are one crazy cat. #nailedit

 

[eagles rule]

I don't think Ryan's form is bad, I think he was quiet tonight but I think his preseason was good and that he was one of our better players against Brisbane, in the sense that he was the only person who looked like really making anything happen at all.

Will be an interesting week, perhaps Cripps gets another week in the WAFL?

Ryan has had a emotional week with the racism issue a distraction , can"t see Simmo dropping him this week ...

Please be true cant wait for him to be back

 

[WCE Wizard]

So we are all settled that Gaff is in, that is done. You dont leave your A grade guns on the side.

The other one is Cripps? Is he too underdone?

I thought Masto was actually okay, doubt he would get dropped

 

[FKASC]

So who’s everyone talking to

 

[Corn69]

Gaff is the type of bloke who’ll come in after a long break and still average 30+ disposals. Add him to Shuey, Yeo, Redden, Sheed, Hutch and Masten (???) and we almost even out in the midfield against Collingwood. Forward line and backline are as good as ever.

 

[Obeanie1]

Cripps was very quiet in the WAFL game today from reports so he may not come back straight away

Dont bring him in until he is match fit and killing it.

Unless injury forces our hand get him fit. Same with Rioli.

Yeah I agree. Cripps has a habit of taking a few games to get in the zone. Rioli on the other hand I would play providing he is fit with no game time.

It will depend on which direction the MC want to go with looming selections of Gaff , Cripps and Rioli ..The easy way is to drop the youngsters or new players in the team so pressure on Smith .Petro and Venables or Ryan ..Do the MC plan to keep developing youth than possibly Masto at 29 yrs old may make way or one of the rucks ...

 

[Godfather32]

So who’s everyone talking to

I'm not listening to another word you say until you're top 2000 in dream team

 

[LittleGreekGod]

If Cripps wasnt that great id be happy for Gaff to come in for Venables...But be known that Rioli and Cripps wont remove 2 small fwds one will be a mid like Masten or Smith.

We need Petruccelle pace for the open 666 rule.

Tiger, how can you make ridiculous comments like this when you didn’t watch the game?

[HoneyBadger35]

Venables played on Whitfield..Whats your point? Whitfield ran off half back and did it amazingly well and kept GWS in the game for so long.

Whitfield had 33 touches at 85% efficiency, but you don’t want to drop the person you think was tasked with stopping him? Ok.

Monday night news says Gaff and Cripps.

It’s Sunday my man. Can you please tell me Monday’s lotto numbers while we’re here?

This has to be a troll account with an axe to grind at this point, right?

 

[wce4premiership]

Oh FFS Venables doesn't have the tank for the wing! Not even close!

As for Masten's turnovers, stats say he had 5.

7 turnovers: Shuey, Sheppard
5 turnovers: Yeo (plus 7 frees against)
4 turnovers: Sheed, Darling, Kennedy

 

[wce4premiership]

Anyway ... Gaff in for Smith

Cripps one more week in the WAFL. Don't need to change too much.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

My chiropractor is currently in the top 100 in DT. Also he played 300 games for Camberwell in the VFA.

He says Masten’s playing this week, and hungrytiger can suck it.

 

[squashface]

Definitely leave Cripps in the WAFL for another week I think.

In: Gaff, Schofield (if Duggan is injured)
Out: Smith, Duggan (if injured)

 

[Dark Sharks]

DT is shit.

Now if he was top 2000 in Supercoach, that would be another story.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

So what a great position to be in - no player was awful deserving to be dropped yet we need to make room for an AA fully fit midfielder.

Like for like assuming we keep the same structure based on last in it is so sorry but Smith to go. Based on who I believe is least likely to win us a b2b flag it is Masto.

I would also look at the idea put earlier (forget who) that we ask Venables to go back and learn to play midfield at Beagles. I am not a believer that Veners is a midfielder and am happy that he is a half forward. Waste of the pick we used to get him but he is no bust. That said - why not find out once and for all. Shuey Yeo and Redden can all do damage resting forward so I’m ok with Ryan and Petruccelle being the small forwards. Was Veners that bad? No. It is testing for the future.

Vardy deserves another turn at Grundy and Hickey was great. Brooksby and McInnes are knocking!!!

In terms of Cripps, he is Jamie and not Patrick so has not earned the auto select status. As others have stated, he is slow at returning and we do not need to rush him.
